positive opk finally?

Hi guys can someone look at the pic and tell me if they think this is finally a positive opk? Im on cd 22 and have had 5 days of almost positive opks and lots of cramping and watery cm. I just want to ovulate now...getting a bit tired and stressed!

Aw thank you...I hope it really is finally! We have been bding thinking i could ovulate and each day it didnt seem to happen...DH is exhausted!

No I only started using opks and preseed for the first time. I had a late loss in march and it was very difficult but we started trying again immediately. Then I had my first af and started using opks this cycle. I hope this month brings good news! I dont use soft cups...do you have experience if using them? X

Now this is very important -Ã Soft Cups after BD! Donâ€™t be afraid to use them. Practice a few days before bd, so you know how to slide them in while in bed after bd and they can definitely help you make a baby! Use a soft cup after sex and leave it in for a day. This way the sperm will stay close to the cervix. I did this last cycle and this cycle and got pregnant. I didn't take Clomid last cycle, but I did this cycle, so I think the Soft cup helps a lot! I also stopped breastfeeding last cycle. Anyhow, when you have the soft cup in the sperm will tend to collect at the bottom of the cup; if you push up on the cup and guide the sperm into your cervical os (it should be high, soft, and open during fertile time) you will be giving the sperm a second, third, fourth chance to get into the cervix. It was easiest to do this while sitting on the toilet reaching with the middle finger from the front. Women who I've told about this in a forum have tried it and fell pregnant the same cycle! *** Many get IUI's because they can't get the sperm there! You don't need it if you use the Soft Cups and catch your cervix open! Push that sperm out of the cup and into the cervical opening! The sperm has a higher chance of "death" if using IUI. Sperm that is in your body will live longer; they just need a good environment and some guidance.

I used prescribed Clomid (100mg) due to my age (39) for the first time ever this cycle! I had one mc at 8 weeks in August 2013 and then a chemical pregnancy last cycle (March); I did some research on Clomid and found that it can help mature follicles/eggs leading to higher progesterone levels. I have normal 28 day cycles and had a scan that showed no cysts, no fibroids, and my endometrium is slightly thicker than average. *Many ladies wonâ€™t need Clomid; this was my first time using it, as I had four children without it. Again, I took it prescribed by my doctor to allow for more mature Follicles/Eggs; this way the egg can become fertilized more easily and it would also produce higher levels of progesterone. I took the Clomid on CD (cycle day) 4-8.

Concerning vitamins, I took prenatals with DHA. I also took extra Folic Acid 1600mg, one extra vitamin Bcomplex supplement, 1 baby aspirin 81mg a day (first cycle doing this), Pineapple core on 1-4dpo (days past ovulation), Primrose oil 3 times a day from CD6 until Ovulation day, Mucinex without the DM for better cm on CD (cycle day) 13-17 as I ovulated on CD (cycle day) 15 (everyone is different when they O, so gauge the days you take yours around the time you expect Ovulation).

Watch "The Great Sperm Race" youtube video!!!

Thank you for the information! Sounds like an idea. I think I will havve to practice beforehand though as im a bit funny about inserting things inside...dont even use tampons for this reason! But I might try it next cycle if we are not successful this month. Willing to try anything!
